Abstract: The extremely successful Yugoslav-German cooperation in multiple areas of material sciences is characterized by a very intensive exchange of personnel and information between the research group involved on both sides. At a relatively early stage of cooperation the necessity was felt to give to all scientists concerned an overview of the cooperation in material sciences in general and the individual topics being worked on in particular. A first, still rather informal meeting was held in Ljubljana in 1974, giving way to the official First Yugoslav-German Meeting on Material Science and Development held in Karlsruhe in the following year. Material science plays a key role - if not $\underline{the}$ key role - in the technology world of today. Very often, new engineering ideas can only be translated into reality if and when the metallurgists succeed in providing for the adequate materials. To quote an example out of many others, I would like to say that the ultimate success of the HTR will only be achieved if materials can be conceived which remain serviceable beyond temperatures of 900 - 950°. Then also will it be possible to develop those processes at reasonable costs on which part of our energy future depends: Water and methane splitting, and coal liquefaction or gasification. In addition to the development of new technologies the challenge for material science in a finite world of exhaustible resources also lies in providing substitute materials for those which will be exhausted in the foreseeable future.
